Defendant filed three partial motions for summary judgment on September 1, 2015.

18

See Motion on Pattern and Practice and Discrimination Claims (dkt. 277); Motion on Jerry

19

Chapman's Claims (dkt. 278); Motion on Barnes and Bolle's Claims (dkt. 279). This Court's

20

standing orders state that "[e]ach party is limited to filing one summary judgment motion.

21

Any party wishing to exceed this limit must request leave of the Court and must show good

22

cause." Defendant has not shown good cause for filing separate motions, the filings are

23

REJECTED, and this Court directs defendant to file a new motion that conforms to the

24

standing orders. The hearing and briefing dates associated with the motions are VACATED.

25

IT SO ORDERED.
